“Mental Health Is Our Sport”: Improving mental health literacy of sport coaches in diverse communities across Canada
The aim of this project is to increase mental health literacy among coaches, teachers and community leaders working with sport participants, including those in remote, Indigenous, and economically disadvantaged communities as well as newcomers to Canada, persons with disabilities, and Canadian Armed Forces members and their families. The Coaching Association of Canada is working with a network of partner organizations, including the Canadian Centre for Mental Health and Sport, to support coaches across the country with access to education and resources. The project will update and adapt existing mental health content in educational training modules for these communities and create an online Mental Health and Sport Resource Hub – a free, online portal of mental health resources from subject matter experts. New resources will be added regularly and will include eLearning modules, infographics, activities, research papers, videos, and workshops on various topics related to mental health. Between the various activities and the Resource Hub, the project is expected to reach up to 2,540,000 coaches across Canada.
